Detecting Child Abuse is an extremely useful book for teachers, parents, caregivers, and therapists who work with children. It presents basic techniques for analyzing drawings. Readers learn about normal developmental stages of drawing and the "red flags" sent by children in distress. This important book will help people identify troubled children in order to recommend professional evaluation before long-term harm sets in.

This book is unique because all the basic signs identifying abuse are listed in one single source. This book is packed with visual examples and includes a workbook section that actually lets you practice what you have learned.

Reviews:

A few years ago, a case in Morgan County Circuit Court involved an expert witness who specialized in analyzing children's drawings, looking for signs and symbols of child abuse. The field at the time was unknown to many people, but now parents, teachers and others can get a crash course through a new handbook, Detecting Child Abuse.

This is an excellent resource for those of us who work with abused children (or children from high risk families) but do not have any formal training in the assessment of children's drawings. Very thorough and practical!
